Climax communities are stable, mature ecosystems that have reached a steady state of ecological succession, characterized by a diverse array of plant and animal species. They exhibit relatively little change in species composition over time, as the biotic and abiotic factors in the environment create a balance that supports the existing community. Climax communities are often adapted to their local conditions and can vary widely based on climate, soil type, and other environmental factors. However, they can still be subject to disturbances, which may lead to secondary succession and the development of new communities.
